Health: Dehydration

Dehydration occurs as a result of an individual not consuming enough water. Dehydration can lead to several health consequences, especially at times when hot weather is a factor. Although people think that consuming any liquid, like juice or soda, will help to prevent dehydration, they are incorrect. In fact, for many people, drinking juice or soda only makes them thirstier. Water is the only true cure for dehydration. Sometimes, people do not even realize the fact that they are suffering from dehydration; some people end up going several hours without drinking any water and they don’t even realize it. Once dehydration sets in, side effects such as headaches, dizziness and nausea can set in. So, the only way to truly keep yourself hydrated is to drink plenty of water, especially during the summer. This will help to make sure that you stay healthy and your body has enough water in it to run properly.
